About this study
Official title: Feasibility of Physical Activity in Older Adults With Haematological Malignancies: ACCES Study (Aging & CanCer : Exercise as a Solution)
The aim of this study is to implement a simple and unsupervised home-based physical activity (PA) program for cancer patients in 2 oncogeriatric units in Toulouse Hospital (day hospital and week hospital).
Read the detailed description
Cancer treatments can cause side effects such as fatigue and reduced muscle function. Studies have shown the benefits of physical activity, including reduced fatigue and improved quality of life. Moreover, PA is often recommended for cancer survivors rather than patients undergoing treatment. It is essential to develop adapted, unsupervised, home-based PA programs to ensure access to PA for all cancer patients, particularly those living in rural areas or who have difficulty accessing healthcare. The PA program CREATE is a simple, unsupervised PA program based on patients' functional capacities. Depending on the patient's functional capacity, one of 7 PA programs will be prescribed by the doctor. The patient must perform the program independently for 6 months. Telephone follow-ups (weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, et 24) as well as a monthly in-person follow-up visit will be made to adjust the prescription.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Physical activity (PA) programOther
The PA program is specific for each patient according to their mobility profile assessed using a decision tree comprising 3 tests: 1) the number of repetitions in the 30-second sit-to-stand test, 2) the score in the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test and 3) grip strength. The PA program has to be performed once daily.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility of the PA program
PA program is considered feasible if at least 50% of them complete at least 70% of the prescribed sessions. Adherence is recorded in a logbook (every day), during the usual follow-up at the hospital (every month) and during telephone follow-up (weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, et 24).
Measured: 6 months
